There are many branches and sub-branches of specialization in earth science. This list isn't complete, but here's a start:

Geotechnics
Meteorology
Oceanography
Petroleum Geology
Mineralogy
Crystallography
Structural Geology
Stratigraphy
Ore deposits (or mine/economic geology)
Paleontology
Astronomy
Hydrology
Geochemistry
Geophysics
Petrology
Glaciology
Quaternary geology
Surficial geology
Volcanology
Seismology

So there's my contribution to a list of 20, hopefully some other users can add to my list.
